This podcast introduces the period we call the Gilded Age. We discuss the early goings of big business in the United States and introduce some of the day's "Captains of Industry", such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, JP Morgan, Rockefeller, and the beginnings of monopolies in the Unites States. 
 
We also discuss how the government's role changed through this period and some of the legislation passed to protect fair trade.
